Embattled electoral commission CEO Ezra Chiloba did not give satisfactory answers when questioned over alleged malpractice on procurement of election material necessitating being sent on compulsory leave, the court was told yesterday. IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said the commission was not satisfied with Chiloba’s response, hence the need to send him on compulsory leave. It was agreed that Chiloba goes on leave to ensure he does not tamper with the audit. Chebukati says all the five commissioners present agreed that there was need to expand the scope of the internal audit. The majority vote agreed Chiloba ought to be sent on compulsory leave to pave way.
